If family and friends are having trouble thinking of something for you for Xmas then this list might help.
From past experience, riders do tend to bring more equipment than they need. As we are limited for room, it is important that you keep equipment to a minimum.
Cycle Across Oz will only carry a maximum of 15 kgs per rider which includes all camping equipment but not your bicycle.
Essential items are:
Multi tool
Patch kit and spare tyre, 2 tubes, spare cables, spokes and nipples.
Bike lock & pump
HELMET- must be worn in Australia whilst riding.
Minimum of 2 water bottles.
Tent
Sleeping mat & sleeping bag
Crockery & cutlery for one
Insect repellent, bum cream & sunscreen
Clothing & toiletries
All bicycles must be fitted with a mirror or helmet mirror.
This all MUST fit into one bag per rider- sausage bag or equivalent. If using panniers, no more than four will be carried in vehicle. No bicycle boxes, bags or cases will be carried by Cycle Across Oz.
